Methods of cleaning back? - HTC Droid DNA

the back of the DNA is by far the hardest piece of tech to clean (at least for me). No matter what i try, the back just always stains. Any methods to get the back clean?

No matter how many times you clean it, its going to get greasy again. I just use baby wipes, though.

Unfortunately, i still have the Verizon argyle TPU, and it leaves the diamond marks on the back. usually around once a week or so (or more often) i dampen a towel or wash cloth and add a little hand soap. i scrub the back a little bit, and it takes away the argyle marks along with any residue (i use my phone a lot without the case)

I also have the marks on the back from Verizon's case, but I think it looks cool since it's unique as phuck.

haha.. thought I was the only one who used baby wipes.
They do work better than anything else though.

I use a microfiber cloth and a dab of rubbing alcohol.

I am so glad that HTC decided to go glossy on the Butterfly and especially glad on the Silver/White version ... cant see any scratch/smudges at all ... You can see the pattern where light is relfecting..

When the pictures of the J Butterfly were released I was hoping VZ would do the DNA in white. So sexy..

just use regular alcohol wipes, the same kind you would use for the screen.

Just got a free SGP Tempered glass SP

I just got a free tempered glass screen protector! I had one of the sp that came with the sgp rubber cases. And it started to peel. So I contacted them, and they said they would send me a replacement. Well I check my mail 2 days later I get this. Which is today when I got it! I can't believe they sent me this for free!

It's good to know there are companies that care about their user-base and do things like that. If every company was like that, the world would rock!

Yea. That was very nice of them. How do I put this thing on? Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Its actually very easy. Before you actually lay it down be sure you have the ear puece hole and bevels lined up. Lay it down and apply medium pressure with one finger in the center and watch it adhere. Be sure the surface is clean as can be before yoh apply it and wash your hands

What is this portion of the phone considered?

I'm looking to replace the back cover, housing, and whatever this circled portion is called. Anyone know? I've looked at the mid-frame and it's not it. The raised lip of it.

Look up i717 housing on ebay man......btw i seen u post in the skyrocket forums.....mind if i ask how much u got ur note for?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Oh maybe I read it wrong. I thought it was actually apart of the digitizer, and those aren't looking pocket friendly.
Yeah I was looking at getting a broken one and fixing it but passed on it. I got my note for $225. Already unlocked, in the box. Could use a back cover, the housing. The phone looks great, but I'm just picky.
Ah crap. Looks like I'll have the remove the screen from that section via a heat gun. Oh well.
Yea that's a pretty good deal......and for the housing part.....getting that digitizer separated is going to be a b***h even with a heat gun.....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it wasn't too bad. Since I plan on keeping this one, I'll most likely just get a a case for it and call it a day.

I have the case. Only think is I wish it had the light hole on the back.
At first it's slippery but it starts to have a nice grip now. I use the seidio surface belt clip with it. Works great. Wish there were more design ones out there not made of plastic. I know cruzerlite was selling these but they only had that one and the clear android mascot on the back (the one I hate). So I liked the design better.

Are there any chances any of the other designs you have on your website coming to the DNA? I love the Andy circuit persona one and the android circuit. Then the androids is cool. That circuit persona one is awesome looking.
I bought a few things off Amazon and they were junk. Would love to see more for the DNA.

Honestly. It doesn't add much bulk. It's like the rubberized cases. They are nice. Just want other designs

Is the glass separating?

I took my phone out of my pocket and it looked as though the glass was separating. It's not cracked and wasn't dropped. I have it in a crizerlite case so it is protected. Anyone ever see this happen? If it's the glass I will just replace it with a new glass. I just wanted to make sure I get the gorilla glass and not cheap eBay knockoff. Links welcome!

It had one but no this is under the glass. It's very weird, I have never seen this and have owned many gorilla glass devices and I love my s4, don't want her all sick and stuff!

Hmm, maybe it was left out in the sun and the glue adhesive loosened up?

Never done that either, plus it's only about 40 degrees here now. 26 at night brrrrr. I am going to replace the glass and go with that just seems like the glass is coming apart like it is laminated or something. Really odd.

I figured out that it is the glass separating from the black backing. I have never seen this happen, I know I'm hot but dang. Didn't think my body heat would cause that to happen. Haha.

I ended up breaking the digitizer in my s3 and had to pay the 100.00 (asurion) anyway to get replaced on top of 40 for glass I never used. Fell free to try but takes lots of heat and time "TAKE your TIME".

This fell into my lap during frist time assembly. Can anyone give me a pointer?
It has fallen off the slot where the charger plugs in. It sits on the back part of the case and helps it's quite self evident how it fits due to the curve. My one did exactly the same

Can it go back once it comes out or do you throw it away?
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
It will go back in easily. I held it in with a few drops of CA and accelerator/kicker.. Never to come undone again..
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
HaHa It took me a while to figure it out too. When I popped the two half apart it fell on the floor. I thought I broke it, but I finally figured it out. It fits like a Lego piece I think.
Heh I threw it away didn't know what it was.

I hate when i buy something new and something falls off... sadly, i usually throw it away too after a very small amount trying to identify the piece.
